Yikes! You stay safe down in your neck of the woods!

I was out planting tomatoes today, telling mother nature where to stick her bi-polar weather patterns, and I thought it was awful out! It definitely felt a lot warmer then the 71 they were saying. I couldn't imagine 90 already!

Dawn, thanks. You are my most valuable weather person.

We are fine. We had some storms on the radar that were SW of us in TX and looking a little scary so we put deer netting over hoops over the tomato and onion beds for hail protection. I don't know how much hail the storms produced, but once when I was checking the radar I saw what looked like a hail core. We could see horrible clouds slightly south of us and could hear thunder on and off for 2 hours, but so far the storms have stated south of the Red River. Our worst weather here, in terms of severity, almost always comes at us from our SW.

As I was watching the radar, stopping to check it about every 15 minutes, it looked like we had a tall wall(The Great Wall of Oklahoma?) at the Red River that was making storms just melt away. I'm okay with that! : )

Larry, Thanks. I hope y'all are okay tonight. I got in such a habit of posting these when Diane lived in LeFlore County and the hills around her kept her family's weather radio from receiving the warnings. Now, I just think that it is a good idea to post them in case someone else is outside like I was, and comes inside and sees the Tornado Warning and says "Oh, crap, I didn't know this was happening". Actually my first clue that a watch had been issued was a text message from our county's Emergency Mgmt Director. He's really good about sending us the weather watch and warning news as soon as he gets that info himself.

Dr. Forbes has some TorCon numbers posted for our region for later in the week, and I'll be watching those as the most serious weather days approach.

yeah. We don't have TV and there's no radio on. Recently, I've come to rely upon Norman's weather service facebook postings, but the internet is our source. Never know how helpful it can be to have those few extra minutes.

well i dont see a thread dedicated to yesterdays round so Ill ask this here.

Did everyone make it through OK?

I live in Glenpool now and had a nervous 30 minutes or so. A small tornado dropped about a mile and a half from were my kids were and a lot of their friends too.

Hope everyone made it ok.

I think all of us in OKC are okay. I've seen a number of us on line.

I'm in The Village, (north OKC)

I'm glad everyon's okay!

Mike, if I recall, that spot near Glenpool is a tornado zone frequently by touchdowns. I remember being holed up in a motel in Glenpool waiting out a tornado, once. Yikes!
